BTS Fanchant Order & Sequence [For Every ARMY]

The BTS fan chant is a crowd call where ARMY shouts each member’s full Korean name in a specific order, followed by “BTS!” It goes: “Kim Namjoon! Kim Seokjin! Min Yoongi! Jung Hoseok! Park Jimin! Kim Taehyung! Jeon Jungkook! BTS!” 

Beyond the core name chant, individual songs have their own unique fan chants released officially by HYBE on Weverse. Whether you are a new ARMY learning your very first chant or a longtime fan brushing up before a concert, this guide covers everything — the words, the songs, the timing, and how to practice.

What Is the BTS Fan Chant?

The BTS fan chant is one of the most beloved rituals in K-pop fandom culture. It is a coordinated crowd chant where fans shout specific words, phrases, or member names at designated moments during a song’s performance — usually during instrumental breaks, intros, or pauses between lines.

Fan chants serve two purposes at the same time. For BTS, hearing thousands of voices chant in unison is a sign that ARMY is present and engaged. For ARMY, it is the moment you stop being a spectator and become part of the performance itself. There is genuinely nothing like it.

There are two types of BTS fan chants:

• The core name chant — the universal fan chant used across performances, regardless of song
• Song-specific fan chants — unique chants tied to individual tracks, officially released by HYBE Music on Weverse

Both matter, and both are worth learning.

The Core BTS Fan Chant In Order 

The official BTS fan chant sequence is:

Kim Namjoon! Kim Seokjin! Min Yoongi! Jung Hoseok! Park Jimin! Kim Taehyung! Jeon Jungkook! BTS!

This chant uses each member’s full Korean legal name — not their stage names. The order follows the Korean age hierarchy, starting with the leader RM (Kim Namjoon) and going from oldest to youngest, ending with Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook) and then the group name.

Member Name Chant Pronunciation Guide

Member	Full Name	Stage Name	Pronunciation Tip
RM	Kim Namjoon	RM	Kim Nam-joon
Jin	Kim Seokjin	Jin	Kim Seok-jin
Suga	Min Yoongi	Suga	Min Yoon-gi
j-hope	Jung Hoseok	j-hope	Jung Ho-seok
Jimin	Park Jimin	Jimin	Park Ji-min
V	Kim Taehyung	V	Kim Tae-hyung
Jungkook	Jeon Jungkook	Jungkook	Jeon Jung-kook

A small but important detail: Korean names are structured as family name first, then given name. Kim, Min, Jung, Park, and Jeon are all family names. When you chant these names at a concert, you are pronouncing them exactly as they would be said in Korean, which is genuinely a beautiful thing about BTS fan culture.

You will hear this chant at the start of songs like “DNA,” “Boy With Luv,” “IDOL,” and “Save Me.” It also appears organically throughout concerts — during encore waits, between songs, and sometimes even before BTS takes the stage, when ARMY just starts it on their own.

BTS Song Fan Chants by Era

Different songs have different fan chants. Each one is written to match the energy and rhythm of that specific track. HYBE posts official fan chant guides on Weverse when songs are released, and fan community sites like US BTS ARMY compile them all in one place.

You can refer to the official guide by HYBE for ARIRANG Fanchant, so you can remember during the BTS concert!

Here is a breakdown of the most iconic BTS song fan chants across eras:

Classic Era Fan Chants (2013–2016)

Song	Key Fan Chant Moment
No More Dream	Member name chant at the intro
Boy In Luv	Name chant at the opening
Dope	“BTS” shouts throughout
Fire	High-energy crowd response throughout

Love Yourself / Wings Era (2016–2018)

Song	Key Fan Chant
Save Me	Name chant before the first verse
DNA	“La la la la la” in the bridge sections
MIC Drop	Name chant intro + “BTS” throughout
Fake Love	“Love you so bad” in the chorus breaks
Magic Shop	Emotional call-and-response with the members

DNA is one of the most recognizable fan chants in BTS history. The “La la la la la” section, sung during the bridge, turns into a full crowd moment that gives you chills every single time. If you are a new ARMY, learning the DNA fan chant is a great starting point because the timing is clear and the words are easy to follow.

MIC Drop is another fan chant ARMY absolutely loves. The intro name chant into “BTS!” followed by crowd energy throughout the song makes it one of the most electric concert moments you will experience.

Map of the Soul / BE Era (2019–2021)

Song	Key Fan Chant
Boy With Luv	“Oh my my my” + “BTS” throughout
ON	“Bring the pain oh yeah” in the chorus
Dynamite	“‘Cause I, I, I’m in the stars tonight”
Butter	“Smooth like butter” in chorus breaks
Permission to Dance	Crowd singalong with sign language gestures
IDOL	“You can’t stop me loving myself”
Go Go	“Yolo yolo yolo yo”

Boy With Luv is pure joy as a fan chant experience. The “Oh my my my” opening hook is immediately recognizable, and the “BTS” interjections throughout the song feel like a natural conversation between the members and ARMY.

Dynamite is the best entry-point fan chant for new ARMY. The entire song is in English, the chorus is familiar, and the timing is beginner-friendly. If you are nervous about learning your first song chant, start here.

IDOL is one of the most empowering fan chants in the BTS catalog. “You can’t stop me loving myself,” shouted by thousands of people in a stadium, is an experience that genuinely hits different.

Eram’s Fan Chant Moments: From Jakarta to Singapore

This one is personal for me.

I have been an ARMY for over five years now, and I have been lucky enough to experience the fan chant live (twice) at two very different concerts.

The first was Suga’s D-DAY Tour in Jakarta in 2023. Suga’s solo concerts have a different energy from BTS group shows — more intimate, more intense, deeply emotional. But the moment the name chant started before a performance, something shifted in that crowd. Thousands of voices in Jakarta are calling out Korean names in perfect unison, not because anyone told us to at that moment, but because that is just what ARMY does. It is instinct by that point. I remember thinking: this is why fan chants matter. It is not about performance. It is about belonging.

Then there was j-hope’s Hope on the Stage in Singapore in 2025. Hobi’s energy is completely different! It is electric, celebratory, the kind of joy that physically moves through a crowd. The fan chants during that show felt like a party that 20,000 people had rehearsed together without ever meeting. The timing, the words, the collective breath before the chant drops, when you are in it, you understand why ARMY spends so much time practicing before concerts.

Both experiences taught me the same thing: knowing your fan chants is one of the most loving things you can do for your concert experience. Not because it is required, but because it connects you to every single person in that room who learned the same words for the same reason.

Oh, and I also create videos on Instagram. Feel free to drop a Hi to me <3

How to Learn BTS Fan Chants: Step-by-Step

Learning fan chants is not hard, but it does take a little practice. Here is how to approach it without feeling overwhelmed.

Step 1: Master the Member Name Chant First

Before anything else, get the member name chant locked into your memory. Say it out loud, not just in your head. Your mouth needs to know the rhythm as much as your brain does. Practice it at different speeds — slow first, then match it to the beat of a song you already know.

Once the name order feels automatic, everything else becomes much easier to build on.

Step 2: Find Official Fan Chant Guides

For every official BTS release, HYBE posts the fan chant guide on Weverse. This is always the most accurate and up-to-date source. Alongside Weverse, these fan-run resources are reliable:

• US BTS ARMY — compiles official fan chants in one clean index
• YouTube — search “[song name] BTS fan chant guide” for tutorial videos with timing guidance

Step 3: Watch Live Performance Footage

Reading a fan chant on paper is one thing. Hearing it in context is completely different. Watch fan cams and concert fancams on YouTube specifically to hear how the chant sits in the actual song. Notice when ARMY breathes, when they come in, and how the crowd timing works as a collective.

Step 4: Pick Two or Three Songs to Focus On

Do not try to learn every fan chant at once. Pick the songs you think are most likely to be performed and master those first. For ARMYs prepping for a specific concert, check the expected setlist after the first few shows are announced and focus your practice accordingly.

Step 5: Practice Out Loud in Real Time

This sounds obvious, but it makes a significant difference. Play the song and chant along as if you are already in the venue. Do not pause and rewind constantly. Let yourself miss a beat, keep going, and find your rhythm over multiple full runs of the song.

Bring some throat lozenges and stay hydrated before a concert — hours of enthusiastic chanting take more voice than you expect.

BTS Fan Chant Etiquette: What Every ARMY Should Know

Knowing the words is only part of it. How and when you use a fan chant matters too.

1) Chant during instrumental breaks, not over the members’ singing. 

This is the golden rule. Fan chants are designed for the gaps in a song — the intros, the breaks, the pauses between lines. Shouting over Jungkook or Jimin’s vocals is not the energy we are going for.

2) You do not have to be perfect. Missing a word or coming in half a beat late is completely normal, especially at your first concert. No one is grading you. The energy of thousands of voices together carries even the most uncertain participants.

3) Follow the crowd’s lead. At your first concert, it can help to listen for a beat before joining in on a new song’s chant. Once you hear the pattern, you can lock in. The Army, as a collective, tends to move in sync naturally.

4) Official chants over fan-made ones. Stick to the officially released fan chants, especially for new songs. Fan-created versions can sometimes differ and cause timing confusion in large crowds.

Final Thoughts on the BTS Fanchant

From the Jakarta stadium crowd chanting Suga’s name before D-DAY began, to Singapore reverberating with Hobi’s fanchant energy during Hope on the Stage — every ARMY voice in that crowd learned those same words beforehand, and that shared preparation is what makes the moment possible. 

Whether you are preparing for your very first BTS concert or your fifth, knowing your fan chants is one of the best gifts you can give yourself and the person standing next to you. 💜
